When the rawnefs of fuch a gafh in the
ground is foftened, and in part concealed
and ornamented by the effedts of time, and
the progrefs of vegetation—deformity, by
this ufual procefs, is converted into pic-
turefquenefs; and this is the cafe with
quarries, gravel-pits, &c. which at firft are
deformities, and which, in their moft pic-
turefque ftate, are often confidered as fuch
by a levelling improver. Large heaps of
mould or ftones, when they appear ftrongly,
and without any connedtion or conceal-
ment, above the furface of the ground,
may alfo at firft be confidered as deformities,
and may equally become- pi&urefque by the
fame procefs.
This connedtion between pidurefquenefs
and deformity cannot be too much ftudied
by improvers, and, among other reafons,
from motives of oeconomy. There are in
many places deep hollows and broken
ground
